Hello, Fred! I'm so looking forward to getting to know you better here at Shoutlife!

When you get a minute, pop over to my Shoutlife profile and my web site to see what God has me doing I traded my guitar for a computer.

I pray the week ahead will bring you good and wonderful things! And if anything weighs heavy on your heart, please let me join you in prayer, "for wherever two or more of us are gathered in His name." And isn't it comforting to know you needn't give me the details for our joined voices to deliver God's grace!

Eyes on Him,
(1 Corinthians 10:13)
